I woke up this morning to find an offer letter in my in-box! WOOT! The name of the company is UDP. [EDIT] I did this without a headhunter. That makes three jobs in a row that I've managed without the "help" of a headhunter.

That's some good news, John ! Congrats ! I started my third job this year and never ever saw a headhunter. They are definitely not a "must".

Telco billing software, eh? That should be secure - my telco never gets tired of billing me! And they could certainly use some talented help to improve services. Congrats, John! :-D

Congratulations John :-) UDP sounds like they may be a low level networking software company.

Actually, that's probably more true for people working for defense contractors. In my case, my salary will be reapportioned to those that really need it.

I don't know, but maybe I'll ask on Monday (my 1st day). All of the people I talked to yesterday say they frequent CodeProject. On my resume, I included the fact that I am "published" here, and mentioned my MVP awards.

Congratulations - very well done indeed.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Well done sir! and so quickly, I might add. Probably a good thing the job was offered via Email and not in person, that way, they couldn't hear the fit of evil laughter that followed. :rolleyes:

I contacted them last Monday, and after a brief phone interview with their lead programmer on Tuesday, he was out of town for the rest of the week, and I had to wait for him to come back (that was a long six days, considering there wasn't much else available on the job front here). When I saw they'd been in business for over 40 years, I was eager for things to progress. I printed out almost their entire web page so I could read up on it before actually going in the building for the interview.
